A Year of Thanks

2016 has been quite a ride. I got engaged, married, had my fiance move out to Altoona with me, participate in ministry with me, moved myself, and a whole lot more. But there has also been a lot of hard times too. I lost a great aunt, I watched my country almost implode over a presidential election, and had numerous celebrity deaths occur. I'm sure there's more but I can't think of anything else.

During the month of November I saw a couple of people on social media do "30 days of Thanks" in honor of Thanksgiving. I saw other people completely skip Thanksgiving and move straight on to Christmas. It's as if we need these holidays to get into a proper mindset for being thankful. I have a problem with this. So I want to change the tone of 2017. Every day I am going to post at least one thing that I am thankful for. No matter what's happening, no matter where I am or what kind of day I'm having I will find something to be thankful. I challenge anyone who reads this to do the same.

Let's have a great and thankful 2017!
